The article in the HERALD of Tues
day last concerning the great Nadeau
Vineyard property, recently purchased
by General E. Bouton, A. w. Barrett,
F. c. Howes, Francis M. Eggleston,
John l. Reddick, John Bryon, Sr., A.
w. Francisco and j. M. Elliott, for
81 200, 900, has attracted great atten-
ton. The capital stock of the Com
pany is fixed at $4,000 shares, at 800
each. As soon as the article ap-
peared, offers poured into the Com
pany for the stock at par, one party
offering to take half the stock "spot
cash." but the Company will sell only
400 shares at par, to pay the incum-
brance on the land and for gathering
and manufacturing the present enor-
nous grape crop, estimated at 16,000,-
900 pounds. The next stock will
be sold at S125 or over per share.
The location Of this grand property is
most admirably adapted for business
purposes. The land is smooth, rich,
mellow, well watered and close to the
city on the south. A branch of the
Southern Pacific Company's railway
to San Pedro passes along the west
side of the land and the Santa Ana
or San Diego branch of the same COM
pany passes through the tract from
west to east. The Ballona branch of
the California Central passes along
the northern boundary while the San
Diego branch will pass through the
tract for two miles on the northerly
portion of the rancho. These remark
able railroad facilities make the land
especially valuable for manufacturing
purposes aud it is understood that the
owners will give generous grants of
land to railways for car-shops, storage
houses for protection and paint
ing of cars, nail factories,
iron works, cream tartar works,
planning mills and paper mills. Ship
ments can be made from this rancho
to all parts of the country by lines that
lead in every direction. There is no
doubt but that this property will soon
be the scene of great manufacturing
enterprises and occupied by the beau
tiful homes of workmen, surrounded
with trees and vines that grow so
grandly in its opulent soil.
The land will then be valued at
about $1,000 per acre, or 50, ,254 900.
1t is difficult to limit tn, value of such
land, with its great watt" facilities all
made, and chances for plenty of arte-
sian wells, besides those how flowing.
The tools, implements and machin-
cry of the rancho are numerous and
all first class and ready at any time
for service. The vineyards are in a
high state of cultivation and the vines
are all in vigorous and healthy con-
dition.
Frank M. Eggleston, the popular
Superintendent of the property, has
invented most valuable machine for
burning the brush among the vines.
1t is drawn by horsepower between the
rows, and into its fiery NAV three men
are occupied in slowing in brush,
which is quickly consumed, and a
track of ashes behind the machine is
all that is left of the vast amount OF
branches that are pruned from the
rankly growing vines.
Professor N. w. Outflow, the ac-
complished vintner and brandy maker
of the vast establishment, has all of
his department in the finestcondition,
with the most ingenious contrivances
for handling all its products. Even
the steaming of the barrels and cleans
ing them for use is done in whole
sale way and in rapid and perfect
manner. The cooperage and ferment-
ing tubs of the winery are of
the best character, and all the APP
pointments are of the most approved
kind.
In September the great vintage will
begin to mature, when the vast estab-
lishment will have all its wheels in
motion. 1t will then be a sight well
worth seeing, and many visitors will
throng to see it in full activity. 1t
will then express the juice from 4OO,-
900 pounds of grapes in single day.
